Mar-18 pension credited in Apr-18 but TDS deducted as per 26AS for AY 19-20

I'm thinking on the same lines. BUT:

Then, how to compute total pension for FY 17-18 as pension for Mar-2018 has been shown as Salary Income u/s 192 in 26AS for FY 18-19?

Now, if for some reason, the pension for March-19 is credited before the last day of March-19, then the total pension income as per 26AS for FY 18-19 would be calculated from Mar-18 to Mar-19 and end up paying tax on an extra month!!!

No.

All previous returns were filed on actual basis since there were no TDS implications back then. Accrued pension from Apr-16 to Mar-17 has been shown in the salary field of ITR-1 for FY 16-17 / AY 17-18 filed before due date and it includes the pension for Mar-17.

Also Mar-17 pension is less tan Mar-18 pension (increase due to pay commision).

Took a look at the old a/c statement / ITR / 26AS:

Pension for Mar-17 was credited by SBI on 1-Apr-2017. TDS deducted 0.

No entry is there in 26AS for AY 17-18 or AY 18-19.

Pension for Mar-17 was included in salary income for FY 16-17 as per ITR filed.

	If I were in your situation I would show pension income from April 2017 to March 2018 as per pension certificate and claim eligible deductions from 80C to 80U. If still tax would be payable I would pay. And I would deal with TDS of March 2017's pension in AY 2019-20 as it was deducted in April 2018.

First statement sounds good. But for the second one:

Total Amount credited in 26AS / Form 16 for AY 19-20 will not match the actual amount credited in book/statement/pension slip for FY 18-19.

And if under some unforseen circumstances, Mar-19 pension is credited in the month of March itself, it will lead to taxation of an extra month of pension or, if in that case, Mar-18/Mar-19 pension is not reported/suppressed in ITR for AY 19-20, will lead to amount mismatch.

Understood. Thanks so much for the replies.
